The quality of the hot-rolled plate up to 36 mm thick was estimated by the percentage of rolled products, sorted due to the presence of a surface defect "Non-metallic inclusions", and internal defects, detected by ultrasonic plate control. The analysis of the data on the total sorting of hot-rolled plates demonstrated that the amount of sorting differs significantly on the melting from which each series of tubular metal casting commenced, compared to all the other melting in the series. The sorting of the sheets rolled from the metal of the first in a series of melting proved to be 1.9 times higher than that of the metal of all other melts. The main reason (in 68% of cases) of sorting is the presence of non-metallic inclusions on the surface of the plates. The effect of sorting of hot-rolled plates on non-metallic inclusions of various parameters has been studied: the duration of the intermediate ladle-heating; the length of time from the end of the heating of the intermediate ladle, prior to the beginning of the casting; lining temperatures of the intermediate ladle before the beginning of casting; duration of filling the intermediate ladle; the filling rate of the intermediate ladle with metal; mass of metal in the intermediate ladle before the beginning of casting into the crystallizer; chemical composition of metal; overheating of the metal over the liquidus point at the beginning, middle and end of the casting. On the sorting of flat products for non-metallic inclusions, of all the parameters considered, a statistically significant effect is due only to the overheating of the metal above the liquidus point, which varies in the range from 19 to 35 ° C. In order to obtain an acceptable quality of both the surface of slabs and the surface of hot-rolled plates for non-metallic inclusions, the first in a series of melts recommends overheating of the metal in the intermediate ladle above the liquidus temperature of 30-35 ° C.

The quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) process, based on the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment, has been proposed for producing high strength steels containing significant fraction of film-like retained austenite and controlled amount of fine martensite laths. In this study, a set of Q-P-T processes for C-Mn-Si-Ni-Nb hot rolled plates are designed and realized. The steels with Q-P-T processes present a combination of high strength and relatively good ductility. The origin of such mechanical properties is revealed by microstructure characterization.

The article is devoted to assessing the effect of the design of the metal receiver in the intermediate ladle of the large capacity slab continuous casting machine on reducing the turbulence of flows when the metal stream deviates from the required position during casting. The results of computer simulation of industrial variants of displacement of a stream of metal from a steel pouring ladle to an intermediate ladle from the target input point are presented. The distribution of metal flows in the tundish is compared with different designs of metal receivers. Recommendations are given for reducing flow turbulence for the cases considered. Ill. 6. Ref. 5.

In present 92.8% of world steel production is casted on continuous casting machine. The key phase of continuous casting is tundish. Beside of refining effect of slag phase also steel flow in tundish is very important factor. The main causes for inclusion formation and contamination of the melt include reoxidation of the melt by air and carried over oxidizing ladle slag, entrainment of tundish and ladle slag, and emulsification of these slags into the melt. These causes are due to generation of turbulence in the melt. Although turbo stop lowers the turbulence in some extent. But it is not capable of totally decrease of turbulence specially during lowering of metal bath at the time of ladle exchange operation, cause contamination of the steel melt in tundish. So in the present work it has been focused to develop a novel shroud which have significant role to supply of steel from ladle to tundish at slow rate to avoid turbulence, emulsification and formation of slag eye in tundish to produce quality steel in a sustained manner.

The article is devoted to the mathematical description of the process of filling an intermediate ladle (tundish) with argon, which is blown into the melt stream falling from the steel casting ladle, which is common at metallurgical plants. Metallurgical plants use an intermediate ladle to reliably supply a continuous casting machine for the melt. Also important for the tundish is the removal of non-metallic inclusions using argon. The good distribution of argon bubbles in the tundish significantly influences the removal of unwanted melt components such as hydrogen and nitrogen. Given the need for gas to escape, the melt speed in the intermediate ladle should be sufficiently low, especially near outflow holes, where melt needs to be homogeneous and slow for a high–quality casting. Conducting experiments during the operation of a metallurgical plant is undesirable, costly and is accompanied by difficulties associated with high temperature and opacity of the melt. Therefore, the experiments are often carried out in laboratories on the so-called cold models, where the melt is replaced by water, argon – by air, and the tundish – by the transparent container of the rectangular shape under the conditions of similarity. Despite the obvious advantages of such cold modeling, today most experiments are still conducted on mathematical models, which are a much cheaper and low-erroneous way of predicting the development of a given process under different conditions. Mathematical modeling of melt motion helps to select the optimal geometry of the tundish, as well as the required amount of argon and usefulness of barriers on a way of melt streams. The article proposes to use the convection-diffusion equation for the argon field and the Navier-Stokes equations – for the velocity field. The numerical solution using finite volume method is well tested and provides sufficient accuracy. In addition, this method is easily parallelized to speed up computing on modern multi-core processors. A graphical user interface software application allows you to display the status of the system on the screen for further review and adoption decisions.

The paper presents experimental research on selection of refractory concrete for the glass dosing promove in continuous casting of steel. In the experiments we consider three types of refractory concrete determined by their basic thermal properties using standard methods and the selected refractory concrete with the best performance. The batcher glass was manufactured and tested in production conditions, which showed good results in continuous casting of steel.
